Everyone has a favorite color when it comes to lightsabers, but it’s not just the color of the crystal that matters. Before you go off and pick a color for yourself in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, it’s important to understand what each of the colors means and what they could say about your own version of Cal Kestis.
Within the new game, the colors are purely cosmetic, so you don’t have to worry about the colors changing anything in the gameplay. That still won’t stop me from staying true to the lightsaber color meanings when I choose my own color. Well, at least sometimes. We’ll go over all the canon color meanings so you can play the Cal that stays true to you as well.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – What Your Lightsaber Color Says About You
By default, there are nine different lightsaber colors that you can choose from when customizing your lightsaber. There are two that have no known mention in the canon Star Wars universe, and those include Indigo and Magenta. However, the other seven are fair game and all have different meanings. Are you wise and brave? Are you strong-willed and angry? Or are you a bit of both? Here is what they all mean.
Blue Lightsaber
Blue – This is the most popular color for the Jedi. Most Jeki Knights wield a blue saber and it signifies strength, bravery, and everything in between.
Green Lightsaber
Up next to blue, the green sabers are the second most popular. Green is typically associated with older and wiser Jedi.
Yellow Lightsaber
The third known color for the Jedi order is yellow. Temple guards are usually the only ones that wield yellow, but others have used the color as well.
Purple Lightsaber
We all know purple as the color used by Mace Windu, and the origins of the color aside, most associate purple with a mix of light and dark.
Cyan Lightsaber
Another open-ended color, cyan is just a very light blue. Only one Jedi has been seen with this color in Canon, and that is Tera Sinube.
Orange Lightsaber
This color is tough to pin down because we’ve never seen it used in a canon story unless you count Fallen Order. They will likely have complicated morals, and that can reflect in orange in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor as well. Essentially, it’s the more evil version of purple.
White Lightsaber
We’ve only really seen Ahsoka wield white, and it’s associated with someone who is a true master of the light side of the Force.
Red Lightsaber (Bonus)
You won’t have this available for Cal Kestis until much later in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but most of us know what this means. These crystals represent anger, aggression, and the dark side. In fact, dark-side users must make their crystal bleed in order to get the red effect. A lot happens to Cal in the latest story, so I won’t hold it against you if you choose to throw on a little bit of red.
